We were grateful to have the Dolly's Roofing team join us this morning at our Commission meeting to give thanks for Dolly’s incredible generosity to our department.

We can’t truly express how fortunate we are, and Dolly’s took great care of us by providing a roof replacement at KFD Headquarters through Dolly’s Gives Back.

You won’t be disappointed with Charles, Jill, and their team. We encourage you to reach out to Dolly’s for your roofing needs!

We would like to thank Dolly's Roofing Inc for their generous gift of replacing the roof at our headquarters fire station. As part of Dolly’s Gives Back, this allows Dolly’s Roofing to train new and existing employees to manufacturer specs and support community organizations.

Dolly’s Roofing is based in Seneca and serves the entire upstate SC area as well as northeast Georgia and western North Carolina. They can be reached at 864-882-1555.

Thank you, Dolly’s Roofing!

We’re very fortunate to have great resources, and our fire boat is such an incredible asset in providing excellent fire & life safety services to our citizens and visitors on and around Lake Keowee. Thank you WSPA 7News for the feature!

May has arrived, and that means boating season is at full speed on lakes in the Upstate. There's at least one fire department that's ready to hit the water, too. https://www.wspa.com/news/first-responder-friday-keowee-fire-district-fire-boat/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WSPA_7News

We’re fortunate to have incredible people at KFD and the Merritt family’s legacy is something to be proud of. Thank you to WSPA 7News and Harrison's for coming out and featuring us!

There's a firefighting family affair in Oconee County that is three generations strong. https://www.wspa.com/news/first-responder-friday-keowee-fire-district/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WSPA_7News

Thanks to the generosity of a citizen in our community, KFD is now equipped with a Turtle EV Mini Nozzle System.

This is specifically designed for use of electric vehicles that prove difficult to extinguish when on fire by sliding underneath the vehicle to cool the battery cells.

In an ever changing world the fire service must adapt to meet those demands and EV fires are a great example of that. We’re thankful to have the support of those in our community to help us along the way!

Today’s Member Monday is Firefighter/EMT Joey Casali. Joey has been with KFD since 2022 and is currently assigned to A-Shift. With a passion for truck company operations, Joey is a great member of the team and a mentor to those around him. Thanks for all you do for KFD, Joey!

Here’s a Throwback Thursday allllllll the way back to the 90’s.

March 31st will mark our 31st Anniversary as a department. We’ve came a long way over the years and always love to look back, remember, and honor every KFD member and the citizens who’ve helped make KFD what it is today.

KFD firefighters as well as firefighters from Corinth-Shiloh and Pickett Post completed two incredible days of training yesterday and today.

The training focused on structural firefighting incorporating working off of an aerial platform, forcible entry, interior fire attack, search, rapid intervention team operations, pump operations, and foam operations.

We’re thankful to have a great training facility here in Oconee County and to be able to apply these skills to give our citizens the best in fire & life safety services.
